Here is a basic framework for what you are trying to do.

script1:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

integer rc  # Holds return code.

# Call script 2.  When its done, the shell variable $? will contain its return code
# (the return code from the previous command run). In this case you can set it 
# yourself in script2.
script2
rc=$?  # Save the return code from script2
if (( $rc != 0 )); then  # If return code is non-zero, failure
  print "script2 failed"
else
  print "script2 succeeded"
fi
exit 0

script2:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
integer rc  # Holds return code
<some command>
rc=$?
if (( $rc != 0 )); then
  exit 1   # Exit 1 if the command fails.  Whoever calls this script can capture and
             # test this return value.
fi
exit 0
